Book on the Czechoslovakian Wolfdog - English translation?
 

Recently, I was able to see the book written by Ing. Karel Hartl and Jindrich Jedlicka (1996/2002) - and have done a rough translation into English for myself - the book is pure gold, really a delight to read, and very informative! At some point, I remember someone saying an English version was being (officially?) worked on. Did the translation ever get finished or published? If not, I would be very happy to offer my assistance on either mission - with permission from the authors and publishers, of course.

Hi Marcy, officiall english version does not exist.

That was March 2010... I do not know what did hapen after this, but I did send a PM to the one making the English version, I will post as soon as I hear from her...

Best regards / Mikael

And... unofficial?....:oops:

I'm actually working on a French translation with the agreement of Ing. Karel Hartl :) And after that it will be easier to obtain an English translation... :)

I think I have my answer. :) I think there will be a book - in English - soon! The English speaking CSV world is in for a real treat!8) That's great that it will also be in French soon! It's a wonderful part of history for our breed!

Hello Marcy,
I also think it will be really great for our breed, and I was waiting for a French or an English version since 12 years now... So I try to do it myself ;) It's really a big job, so when the French version will be ready, it will be really great if we can work together on an English version :)
I think it will be really great if we can publish them for the breed here in America :D

I think better we mas write new book with today information about breed, training ,healty and feeding.
When I in 2002 years brought my first CSV I had and this book in czech language ( yes I read she all for me this no problem) and ... I was very sad- she are antique. old info, with very small hystorical info, and she me not help in growing my first CSV. I mas search others info resources, not this book.
Yes to read, like first CSV book- this are interesing, but not moore.

Dear, if you write this book I will ASURE the professional english translation - if you make it in Lithuanian, and I am sure you can :twisted: Not translated by myself ofcourse, but I have some friends that could help in this work!!!

this working... moore info soon.. 8) thanks :)

Daiva is right. Even in 2002 the information was quite limited.
You get more information if you work yourself through this website.

Hello

The book of K. Hartl we have translated at first into the Dutch language. After that we have let made it into the German version and we have worked also on the English version.

This took more time than we have expected but now it is ready and the book will be available at least at the end of this month.

Are you all refering too "Ceskoslovenský vlcák, Ing. Karel Hartl, Jindrich Jedlicka, Brno 2002" (60p pdf) ?

If yes take care to don't reinvent the wheel, even if no perfect google translation works very good (I read it no problem through ces->eng translation), the only pitfall is google allow only something like 10 pages translation but this can easliy be solve by pdf spiting/merging (pdfsam software).

If someone is working on a new book, please include the great work done by genetic department of CZ university.

CZ Univ? Which univ exactly?

I though of this one: http://www.fappz.dev.webcore.czu.cz/en/?r=2382

Would be nice to gather somewhere Universities working on CSV, and gather publications in one thread.

Nice Letty :) Good Work :klatsch

I want one or maybe more than one :p

Very best regards / Mikael

WOW it's really nice to at list will be able to purchase it in English :)
Thank you for your work on it :)

Of course it would be GREAT to have an English translation of this original book :)

But I agree with Daiva, Mikael, Vaiva , Michael, Elf and others :)
It is an old "standard" book about the beginning of the breed (and of course still very interesting!)

But even in 2002 the information was quite limited and on wolfdog.org this is/was (since the crash it is more limited) possible to find more info about nowadays development about this breed ;)

So I agree with Daiva for 100% with this comment:
And I'll support writers of "new books" about the breed as much as I can :)

@Elf are there genetics research information from the University in Czech done for czechoslovakian wolfdogs? Do you have the direct link. Or why are you refering to them?

Thanks

Christian

PS: in first short look, I could not find a word about the csw.

Well, wolfdogs are not hybrids :roll:

I know but it is intresting to read about it.

Might be interesting (not really) to read but these books are just another excuse for all those weird hybrid breeders and owners.

Hi i would be very graetful if you could forward details where to purchase this book

PM sent (and bump)

Hi Would like the book as well can you post details

I would be very much interested in this book!
Also how do people rate the two wolfdog books available on amazon at linked above?.. I have thought about purchasing them in the past but not sure how relevant they would be for czechs

Is this amazon.com or is this wolfdog.org?

Free advertising for breeders to sell their books, isn't that called spamming? :|

Here's a reference, just my thoughts on this book, I purchased the Dutch version a few years ago:

compilation of text and wordings one will find at any Google search on "wolfdog" on the internet. Imho this site has more information on wolfdogs and is of more value.

But probably a nice to have for wolfdog owners, no more, no less.

is this book avalible yet

I got a PM from another member (on May 11th) here saying we can get paying though Paypal but I didn't hear back when I asked how / where. :(

thanks anyway

I couldn't find the English version of the Il fascino del lupo. I only found the link to purchase the italian version for 40€

Is this book only a photographic book, or is there also information included?

Hello,
It's the same book :) This book is in Italian with English translation (example page 3 in Italian, page 5 in English etc...).
This book is at first a photographic one (95%) but there is some nice information on it (it's interesting but it's really not Karel book ;) ).
I'm really glad to have it! This book is expensive but so big and beautiful :D I really like it :D
Regards,

Il fascino del lupo is quite huge : 12"x13", 223 pages and a lot of amazing photography by Carolina de Homem Christo :)
